Now I am not an economist, I am an architect. Now as architects we have an unique gift and that is our unique
ability of coming up with a concept and communicating that concept in such a way that people can see the overall
picture. Typically this is through a presentation drawing so that people can see and buy into the
idea and give it their support. That's coming from the big picture perspective and I hope to achieve that here.

Then we have the ability to see the other scale of the picture and document that idea to the most
infinite detail on white prints (blue prints) so tradesmen can construct what the architect designed, piece by
piece, brick by brick giving you the concrete reality that we recognize as a physical enclosure which you may
call a room, a house or a building - it all starts with an idea and that idea had to be flushed out.

Now as money is one of those things that has so much emotional attachment it begs another approach outside
of using terms such as M1, M2 money which most people will not readily identify with. Instead I will
communicate fundamental ideas of money through the use of stories with a bit of artistic license to give you
the big picture and provide you with details to give it substance.

Below is an overview of the content in the site - to jump into the flow of the site follow the
'GO TO' link below:

I. The First series of Articles - "What is Money" apr 14 is primarily the
content I presented to the Millionaires Club in Vancouver in 2005. The articles are all about the concept of
depreciating value that is inherent when a country goes outside of itself to print money. In this money game it is critical to realise that everyone loses - as it is only a matter of
time - with only one exception and that is the bank.

It ends with JFK documented intent to dismantle the private
Federal Reserve System in the best interest of the Nation and an interview with Bernard Lietaer who used to
work with the Bank of International Settlements (BIS) until he realized that changing the system from within
was a naive notion.

II.This is followed by some audio clips on 1) Banking and 2) the differences between two different money system.
Understanding this is key to establishing financial prosperity for the nation.

Videos illustrate how well Canada as a nation was able to progress from 1944-74 without incurring any
additional national debt to that incurred during the second world war. This is despite having
built mamoth projects the likes of which we have not seen since, such as: the CNR (The Canadian
National Railway), the Trans Canada Highway and the Saint Lawrence Seaway. It is proof that these concepts work
as they did in the United States in its early development.

III. The Next Series of Articles deal with the illusion that paper money or money in
any form has intrinsic value as a currency.

IV. The Next Series of Articles deal directly with the illusion which while it appears
very real steals away the value we create without us knowing it.

Although he is a well known writer I find his perspective quite interesting but I do not entirely agree with
it. He seems to believe the government is the one responsible for all our woes and that the free market or
business is our savior. Read it as it has some value and take note of my comments where we appear to
differ.
